PAT

Pipeline Automation Tool

Overview

This maintains a go based CLI tool to perform a number of automated actions in our pipelines.

Build locally

go install github.com/guestlogix/pat

Docker

docker build -t pat .
docker run -it pat

Using the CLI

pat --help

Jira

The PAT image also ships with Netflix's go-jira lib for automation involving jira. In order for authentication to work, the env var JIRA_API_TOKEN must be set with a vaild API token.

e.g. docker run -it -e JIRA_API_TOKEN=<JIRA_TOKEN> -e JIRA_USER=<JIRA_USER> pat

Create Issue

You first need to generate the issue in yml with pat releasenotes

jira --user=$JIRA_USER --endpoint=$JIRA_ENDPOINT create --template ./issue.yml --project RL --noedit

Use as a Github Action

You can make use of PAT in a Github Action using some bash scripts in the ./actions folder. The name of the .sh script will be the value that is passed in the action pipeline-command. In the desired repository of use add a workflow .yaml like this, specifying your case statement.

NOTE: Ensure you give execute permissions to the script (chmod +x <YOUR_SCRIPT>.sh)

NOTE: Be sure to include thr actions/checkout@master step if you need access to the actual source code of the calling repo.

name: PAT Action
on: [push]

jobs:
  pat:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: A job to use pat
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@master
    - name: PAT
      id: pat
      uses: Guestlogix/pat@master
      env:
        GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN }}
      with:
        pipeline-command: '<YOUR_SCRIPT_NAME>'

Finally, update the chart below with the new functionality.
